You will develop your creativity and technical abilities by using our extensive range of facilities, working in three High Definition (HD) multi-camera studios, shooting on the latest HD location equipment and using a range of digital editing facilities. You will develop skills in directing, producing, research, camera principles, sound and vision mixing, lighting and design, studio techniques and digital post-production.

There is a strong emphasis on real-world practice and you will learn alongside experienced professionals from the television industry, working in teams to make programmes in documentary, drama, current affairs and entertainment.

In parallel to the practice-based work, you will be addressing key theoretical aspects of the historical context of television and the changing economic, social and cultural elements that define it. Of particular importance is the growing requirement for students to develop programmes which include ideas around interactivity and multi-platform delivery.

Throughout the course all students will be expected to spend time on industry-based placements and will have the opportunity to work on external projects for a variety of clients. Ongoing collaborations with football clubs and music festivals such as Glastonbury and Bestival mean that multi-camera production work on location is embedded in the curriculum and is an opportunity to enhance your career potential.

Graduate quote

Jenny Strange

“The facilities are fantastic: the cameras and editing equipment, the studios, along with the possibilities for work experience, were all invaluable. The kit is High Definition and tapeless, and we can use lights and all sorts of sound equipment, so the projects are all to a professional standard. The lecturers have all worked in different fields in the industry, giving us back-up right the way through the course.”

Industry quote

Andy Batten-Foster, Producer, Top Gear, 999

“It is essential that universities nowadays produce students who can 'hit the ground running'. Production companies need to recruit those who can make contributions at every stage of a project's evolution – from originating a good, commercial idea, through writing and delivering the pitch, researching, shooting, editing, sound design and final delivery. Those are all the skills which Solent’s students are being taught, along with a sense of genuine responsibility and passion to do the job not just well, but exceptionally well.”
